__init__.py

import pkgutil
import unittest


for loader, module_name, is_pkg in pkgutil.walk_packages(__path__):
    module = loader.find_module(module_name).load_module(module_name)
    for name in dir(module):
        obj = getattr(module, name)
        if isinstance(obj, type) and issubclass(obj, unittest.case.TestCase):
            exec ('%s = obj' % obj.__name__)

Usage

1. Create a directory in the app called tests
2. Create an __init__.py file in that directory with the contents of this gist
3. Create individual test files in the directory, e.g. some_kind_of_test.py, some_other_kind_of_test.py
4. Run as normal, e.g. ./manage.py test myapp or ./manage.py test myapp.SomeSpecificTest

For Django > 1.6 tests can be in a tests directory with an empty __init__.py file. They just need to be named test_<something>.
